News and announcements

I've committed (an early beta version of) the S/P Ajax module that attempts to create an API for easily adding Scriptaculous and Prototype JavaScript/AJAX functions to your Drupal themes and/or modules. Other than providing a whole lot of PHP functions, this module doesn't do a whole lot on its own. But it does allow for creating animated message divs - you know, the ones that tell you your node was saved or that your submission has an error. Now you can make them flash a little to wake users up.

The first module based on SPAjax.module is called S/P Magic Menus and it does some sought after things with Drupal's menu blocks. First, it uses the Scriptaculous "blind" effect to toggle the display of submenu items - so, for instance, you don't need to view the node/add page just to get to node/add/story, just click "create content" and out pops the node types without reloading the page. You can also remove the menu blocks from the page flow completely and they become draggable "toolbars" (think PhotoShop's tool pallette). What's particularly cool is that when you drag the menu, its position is sent (via ajax) to the server so it STAYS there as you move from page to page. There is also a setting to choose whether you want the menus positioned absolute (they will scroll with the page) or fixed (they will not scroll with the page).

www.drupal.org is now also displayed with google pagerank 8 at the Google datacenter. If you are interested in look at: http://www.seochat.com/?go=1&option=com_seotools&tool=9&url=http%3A%2F%2...

It appears new module versions for 4.7.x are released nearly every day.
It's really great that the Drupal developers community is so busy !
So - every second day I check the whole 4.7.x modules download page for new items.
I wish there was list of new released modules available.
Looked for it but could not find it.
Is it really not existing or am I too blind to see ??
Will somebody please show me the trick ?

Until such time that an effective way exists to geographically list Drupal users and developers from around the world, I'm borrowing from the ideas posted at http://drupal.org/node/46557 and http://drupal.org/node/46439.

The whole purpose is to easily find other Drupal users and developers in any part of the world.

Recently I read this post [http://drupal.org/node/46439] about the Drupal Bugfix Meetup in San Francisco, and something hit me: I am alone.
